Arrogant Bait

True arrogant bait Someone I'd never date He lured me to his game My sanity…his claim Passion hijacking my thoughts Drafting erratic plots No one I could tell A selfish little spell Risks so uncalculated Common sense castrated He plead for it not to end I could no longer pretend Cashing in lust for security Stacking chips of maturity Then I heard the news True darkness he did choose Cruel relief it did provide For my secret also died *For Lewis' "It's a beautiful affair" contest July 1, 2016
